The Pahlavi Codex MK

Facsimile Edition with an Introductory Essay by Almut Hintze. Edited by Kaikhusroo M. JamaspAsa and Almut Hintze.

The manuscript MK of the family collection of Dastur Dr Kaikhusroo M. JamaspAsa, is the oldest extant Pahlavi codex. Written in 1322 by the Zoroastrian priest and scribe Mihraban Kayhusraw, it offers 38 texts, most of which form part of the genre of Andarz, or Wisdom, literature, while others, such as the Book of Deeds of King Ardashir, the founder of the Sasanian royal dynasty, belong to Middle Persian court literature. This volume, edited by Kaikhusroo M. JamaspAsa and Almut Hintze, offers an Introduction with a detailed description of the physical condition of the manuscript and a survey of its contents. The main part consists of facsimiles of the entire manuscript, with headings and marginal notes identifying individual texts and paragraphs. The book concludes with an index of texts and a bibliography.
